Arin continues fighting the trainers in Blaine's gym. It doesn't take long for him to reach Blaine and challenge him. TurntSNACO defeats Growlithe, but is defeated by Arcanine. MR. MART takes over, and barely defeats Arcanine. Ponyta is one-shotted, and Rapidash is defeated with little effort. This earns Arin the Volcanobadge and the TM for Fire Blast.

Upon exiting the gym, he is confronted by Bill, and accepts his offer to go to the Sevii Islands. After listening to some dialogue, he obtains the Meteorite, Tri-Pass, and Town Map for the islands.
